Awareness is only a special work form of inert energy...

(Message of Shri Datta Swami)

Awareness is not an independent entity since it is work

Therefore, awareness is only a special work form of inert energy existing in the functioning nervous system. This work depends upon the availability of inert energy that is generated from food by oxidation with the help of respiratory and digestive systems.

This work also depends upon the functioning condition of nervous system. Thus, awareness is the work depending on several systems. Generally, any work is not an independent entity and depends on the system. Awareness is the process of knowing, which is the work of functioning nervous system. Awareness is not an independent entity since it is work. It looks like an independent subject.

Similar subjects are talk, walk etc., which are also works since talk is the process of talking and walk is the process of walking. Hence, awareness, talk, walk etc. are looking like independent subjects, but if you analyze, they are works only depending on the condition of several systems.
